:-) Ah those were the days with Apple talk cabling hanging from the celling all around us. And right along side Thick Ethernet cabling!

AppleTalk was introduced in 1985, and zones came along in AppleTalk Phase II in 1989. Networks at the business level were very new then. Now networks are such a competitive market that vendors are competing to solve certain problems for Apple such as zoning, though it isn't clear how it will all shake out. I think Apple is doing the reasonable thing at this point in time, which is to create solutions popular enough that people care that managing it is a problem. That means an opportunity for others. No other method is likely to get off the ground these days. This is just the consumerization of IT. I'm happy that they're taking this approach, because it is enabling people to do more faster, if not perfectly. I think they've identified their customers quite well, and IT manager's needs don't rate as highly as the needs of the consumer to them. It's a different world, but I don't want to go back to the old one. We'd all do the same in their position. I think job security implies a certain amount of chaos. It could be a lot worse, and has been from my point of view.

It's great that WLAN vendors are creatively coming up with work-arounds but I have yet to find gadget/method/paradigm/unicorn dust that both satisfies the technical and administrative challenges of devices that just aren't ready to play on business networks. But like everyone else, I'm hoping for sunnier days soon:) Lee H.

If so how are you dealing with the time sync issue when the apple tv loses power?” Is that we don’t deal with it very well. I met with our technical team yesterday and we are planning to limit the mDNS service to our 802.1x SSID only. As you know, to bootstrap the device to an 802.1x network, you need to plug in an Ethernet cable first to get the time set and then unplug the cable to switch over to WIFi. If the device loses power, you need to repeat the sequence. There is no current workaround that I’m aware of. Either we find a way to make the device happy to think it is living at the dawn of unix epoch or we wait for apple’s promised fall 2013 ATV code upgrade to fix change things. -Scott From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Hurt,Trenton W.
